Creative drop bar thumb shifter mounting idea?

I've seen a few on here, particularly in the Vintage MTB Drop Bar Conversion thread, but wanted to see what everyone is doing and what is working out best. I'm going to run either a mustache bar or a WTB Dirt Drop on my MTB and could easily do bar-end shifters, but I always like doing things a little differently.

An I've had is to mount thumb shifters on the inside of the brake levers (or on the underside in the case of mustache bars) which would then allow me to shift from the hoods (I think... that's how it works in my head anyway). Anyone try this? How do you like it? Any other ideas worth considering? I want to keep it very clean-looking.
